Lulu and Betty

Our story about Betty and Lulu who grew up in peaceful times begins in 1933 during the depression and ends in the early forties as prosperity returned as our country began mobilizing for World War II. I started this book because I thought it would be beneficial for young people like my talented granddaughter Maria to contrast growing up during the past seventy-five years with my formative years a time of peace from 1927-1941. Our childhoods were so very different. Ive watched my granddaughter entertain herself with technology from an early age. While she missed knowing about doodlebugs she can always look them up on her I-Phone or laptop. From a very early age she was aware of world events; whereas I didnt realize that my back yard in Kerrville Texas was not the center of the Universe until I started to school.
